Subject: RE: 2020 Obit: Jon Pickow From: Stilly River Sage Date: 07 Dec 20 - 06:09 PM That was simply a remark that he passed away, not an obituary. But here is the biographical information from his page Jon Pickow – bio: Jon Pickow began his singing career at a very early age, appearing with his mother, Appalachian folksinger Jean Ritchie at concerts and folk festivals throughout the country, including The Newport Folk Festival, The Philadelphia Folk Festival, Fox Hollow and The Mariposa Festival in Canada. He performed with Jean over the years until her retirement in 2009 and has produced, and performed on many of her albums. |

Here we all are in happier times - playing at Caffe Lena with Susie Glaze and Kenny Kosek. I'll be singing one for you, Jon. More than one. |
Subject: RE: 2020 Obit: Jon Pickow From: GUEST,Felipa Date: 08 Dec 20 - 03:14 PM so sad to read this, I don't think Jon was all that old. I met him a couple of times with his parents when they lived in Long Island and hosted Pinewoods [NY Folksong Society] picnics. |
Subject: RE: 2020 Obit: Jon Pickow From: Brian Peters Date: 08 Dec 20 - 06:17 PM [Reposting because my last effort appeared anonymously] Oh gosh, this is a nasty shock. I met Jon at the Swannanoa Gathering a few years ago, and we had some great chats about Appalachian ballads. I'm very sad to hear of his passing. I deleted your previous post. -Mod |
